Private Rant I was pretty irritated this morning when I was making my way to school on the bus and it was extremely crowded with obnoxious‚ intolerable‚ smelly passengers‚ once again. I had to stand up until‚ finally‚ there was an empty seat. As I went over to the seat‚ a filthy stench of dirty diapers and unwashed socks smothered my nose.
